About Gfap

Summary

Enables Integrin binding activity and kinase binding activity. A structural constituent of Cytoskeleton. Involved in positive regulation of glial cell proliferation; regulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy; and response to wounding. Located in astrocyte projection and cytoplasmic side of lysosomal membrane. Biomarker of brain edema and retinal disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alexander disease. Orthologous to human GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
